Easy AdminLTE integration with Laravel

This package provides an easy way to quickly set up AdminLTE v3 with Laravel 6. It has no requirements and dependencies besides Laravel, so you can start building your admin panel immediately. The package just provides a Blade template that you can extend and advanced menu configuration possibilities. A replacement for the make:auth Artisan command that uses AdminLTE styled views instead of the default Laravel ones is also included.

If you want use the older versions, please use the following versions:

Version 1.x or branch laravel5-adminlte2: This version supports Laravel 5 and included AdminLTE v2
Version 2.x or branch laravel6-adminlte2: This version supports Laravel 6 and included AdminLTE v2

1. Requirements

Laravel 6.x
PHP >= 7.2

2. Installation

Require the package using composer:

composer require jeroennoten/laravel-adminlte

(Laravel 7+ only) Require the laravel/ui package using composer:
```
composer require laravel/ui
php artisan ui:controllers
```
Install the package using the command (For fresh laravel installations):
```
php artisan adminlte:install
```

You can use --basic to avoid authentication scaffolding installation

You can use --force to overwrite any file

You can also use --interactive to be guided through the process and choose what you want to install

3. Updating

To update this package, first update the composer package:
```
composer update jeroennoten/laravel-adminlte
```
Then, we need to update the assets

If you using AdminLTE for Laravel 5.x and are upgrading Laravel 6 version, delete the folder adminlte inside your public/vendor folder.

And then use this command to publish new assets
```
php artisan adminlte:update
```
If you have published and modified the default master, page views or login views, you will need to update them too.

Option 1:
- Make a copy of the views you modified.
- Publish the views again, using
```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\AdminLteServiceProvider" --tag=views
```
- Redo the modifications you did.
Option 2:
- Modify in the css, js and other assets location in the master and page views.

4. Usage

To use the template, create a blade file and extend the layout with @extends('adminlte::page'). This template yields the following sections:

title: for in the <title> tag
content_header: title of the page, above the content
content: all of the page's content
css: extra stylesheets (located in <head>)
js: extra javascript (just before </body>)

All sections are in fact optional. Your blade template could look like the following.

{{-- resources/views/admin/dashboard.blade.php --}}

@extends('adminlte::page')

@section('title', 'Dashboard')

@section('content_header')
    <h1>Dashboard</h1>
@stop

@section('content')
    <p>Welcome to this beautiful admin panel.</p>
@stop

@section('css')
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/admin_custom.css">
@stop

@section('js')
    <script> console.log('Hi!'); </script>
@stop

You now just return this view from your controller, as usual. Check out AdminLTE to find out how to build beautiful content for your admin panel.

5. Artisan Console Commands

5.1 The `adminlte:install` Command

You can install all required & additional resources with the adminlte:install command.

Without any option it will install AdminLTE assets, config & translations. You can also install the Authentication Views with adding --type=enhanced or additional to the Authentication Views also the Basic Views & Routes with adding --type=full to the adminlte:install command.

5.1.1 Options

--force: Overwrite existing views by default
--type=: Installation type, Available type: none, basic, enhanced & full.
--only=: Install only specific part, Available parts: assets, config, translations, auth_views, basic_views, basic_routes & main_views. This option can not used with the with option.
--with=*: Install basic assets with specific parts, Available parts: auth_views, basic_views & basic_routes. Can be use multiple
--interactive : The installation will guide you through the process

5.2 The `adminlte:plugins` Command

If you won't use cdn for the plugins, you can manage the optional plugins assets with the adminlte:plugins command.

You can list all available plugins, install/update/remove all or specific plugins. Here are some examples for the command:

Install all plugin assets

artisan adminlte:plugins install

Install only Pace Progress & Select2 plugin assets

artisan adminlte:plugins install --plugin=paceProgress --plugin=select2

Update all Plugin assets

artisan adminlte:plugins update

Update only Pace Progress plugin assets

artisan adminlte:plugins update

Remove all Plugin assets

artisan adminlte:plugins remove

Remove only Select2 plugin assets

artisan adminlte:plugins remove --plugin=select2

5.2.1 Options

operation: Operation command, Available commands; list (default), install, update & remove.
--plugin=: Plugin Key. (Can used multiple times for the desired)
--interactive: The installation will guide you through the process.

5.3 The `adminlte:update` Command

This command is only a shortcut for adminlte:install --force --only=assets.

5.4 Authentication views

Note: only for Laravel 5.2 and higher

This package ships the following command to replaces the authentication views with AdminLTE style views.

php artisan adminlte:install --only=auth_views

5.4.1 Using the authentication views without the `adminlte:install` command

If you want to use the included authentication related views manually, you can create the following files and only add one line to each file:

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php:

@extends('adminlte::login')

resources/views/auth/register.blade.php

@extends('adminlte::register')

resources/views/auth/passwords/email.blade.php

@extends('adminlte::passwords.email')

resources/views/auth/passwords/reset.blade.php

@extends('adminlte::passwords.reset')

By default, the login form contains a link to the registration form. If you don't want a registration form, set the register_url setting to null and the link will not be displayed.

6. Configuration

First, publish the configuration file:

php artisan adminlte:install --only=config

Now, edit config/adminlte.php to configure the title, skin, menu, URLs etc. All configuration options are explained in the comments. However, I want to shed some light on the menu configuration.

6.1 Title

The default title of your admin panel, this goes into the title tag of your page. You can override it per page with the title section. You can optionally also specify a title prefix and/or postfix.

The following config options available:

title

Default title
title_prefix

Title prefix
title_postfix

Title postfix

6.2 Favicon

Favicons could be used easily. There are two different ways to do this. Please add all favicons in the dir public/favicons/.

['use_ico_only' => true, 'use_full_favicon' => false]

If set to true, the file public/favicons/favicon.ico is used.
['use_ico_only' => false, 'use_full_favicon' => true]

If 'use_full_favicon' => true more favicon files in public/favicons/ will be used. The activated code is:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{ asset('favicons/favicon.ico') }}" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="{{ asset('favicons/apple-icon-57x57.png') }}">

6.10 Laravel Mix

If you want to use Laravel Mix instead of publishing the assets in your /public/vendor folder, start by installing the following NPM packages:

npm i @fortawesome/fontawesome-free
npm i icheck-bootstrap
npm i overlayscrollbars

Add the following to your bootstrap.js file after window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');:

    require('overlayscrollbars');
    require('../../vendor/almasaeed2010/adminlte/dist/js/adminlte');

Replace your app.scss content by the following:

// Fonts
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:300,400,600,700,300italic,400italic,600italic');
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css';
// OverlayScrollbars
@import '~overlayscrollbars/css/OverlayScrollbars.css';
// iCheck
@import '~icheck-bootstrap/icheck-bootstrap.css';
// AdminLTE
@import '../../vendor/almasaeed2010/adminlte/dist/css/adminlte.css';
// Bootstrap
// Already imported by AdminLTE
//@import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap';

After preparing the Laravel Mix vendor files, set enabled_laravel_mix to true to enable load app.css & app.js .

enabled_laravel_mix

Enables Laravel Mix specific css/js load in master layout. Warning If you enable this option, the sections adminlte_css & adminlte_js will not rendered.

6.11 Menu

Specify your menu items to display in the left sidebar. Each menu item should have a text and a URL. You can also specify an icon from Font Awesome. A string instead of an array represents a header in sidebar layout. The 'can' is a filter on Laravel's built in Gate functionality.

You can configure your menu as follows:

'menu' => [
    'MAIN NAVIGATION',
    [
        'text' => 'Blog',
        'url' => 'admin/blog',
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Pages',
        'url' => 'admin/pages',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-fw fa-file'
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Show my website',
        'url' => '/',
        'target' => '_blank'
    ],
    'ACCOUNT SETTINGS',
    [
        'text' => 'Profile',
        'route' => 'admin.profile',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-fw fa-user'
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Change Password',
        'route' => 'admin.password',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-fw fa-lock'
    ],
],

With a single string, you specify a menu header item to separate the items. With an array, you specify a menu item. text and url or route are required attributes. The icon attribute is optional, you get an open circle if you leave it out. The available icons that you can use are those from Font Awesome. Just specify the name of the icon and it will appear in front of your menu item.

It's also possible to add menu items to the top navigation while sidebar is enabled, you just need to set the topnav attribute to true (you can also set topnav_right for the right side of the topnav or topnav_user to place it in the user menu above the user-body). This will ignored if the top navigation layout is enabled, all menu items will appear in top navigation.

To get a dynamic item placing you can add the key attribute, with this you can add a unique identifier to a add before or after it new items.

Use the can attribute if you want conditionally show the menu item. This integrates with Laravel's Gate functionality. If you need to conditionally show headers as well, you need to wrap it in an array like other menu items, using the header attribute:

[
    [
        'header' => 'BLOG',
        'url' => 'admin/blog',
        'can' => 'manage-blog'
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Add new post',
        'url' => 'admin/blog/new',
        'can' => 'add-blog-post'
    ],
]

6.11.1 Adding a Search Input

It's possible to add a search input in your menu, using a menu item with the following configuration:

        [
            'search' => true,
            'url' => 'test',  //form action
            'method' => 'POST', //form method
            'input_name' => 'menu-search-input', //input name
            'text' => 'Search', //input placeholder
        ],

6.11.2 Custom Menu Filters

If you need custom filters, you can easily add your own menu filters to this package. This can be useful when you are using a third-party package for authorization (instead of Laravel's Gate functionality).

For example with Laratrust:

<?php

namespace MyApp;

use JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Builder;
use JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\FilterInterface;
use Laratrust;

class MyMenuFilter implements FilterInterface
{
    public function transform($item, Builder $builder)
    {
        if (isset($item['permission']) && ! Laratrust::can($item['permission'])) {
            return false;
        }

        return $item;
    }
}

And then add to config/adminlte.php:

'filters' => [
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\ActiveFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\HrefFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\SubmenuFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\ClassesFilter::class,
    //JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\GateFilter::class, Comment this line out
    MyApp\MyMenuFilter::class,
]

6.11.3 Menu configuration at runtime

It is also possible to configure the menu at runtime, e.g. in the boot of any service provider or from an controller. You can add simple new menu items at end of the menu, before or after an specific menu item and also in an menu item as submenu item. Use this if your menu is not static, for example when it depends on your database or the locale. It is also possible to combine both approaches. The menus will simply be concatenated and the order of service providers determines the order in the menu.

Avialable Menu Builder methods:

add(...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
addAfter($itemKey, ...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items after an specific menu item to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
addBefore($itemKey, ...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items before an specific menu item to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
addIn($itemKey, ...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items in an specific menu item as sub menu item to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
remove($itemKey)

Removes one specific menu item.
itemKeyExists($itemKey)

Checks if a specific menu item exists, searched by the key-attribute.

To configure the menu at runtime, register a handler or callback for the MenuBuilding event, for example in the boot() method of a service provider:

use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;
use JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Events\BuildingMenu;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    public function boot(Dispatcher $events)
    {
        $events->listen(BuildingMenu::class, function (BuildingMenu $event) {
            $event->menu->add('MAIN NAVIGATION');
            $event->menu->add([
                'text' => 'Blog',
                'url' => 'admin/blog',
            ]);
        });
    }

}

The configuration options are the same as in the static configuration files.

A more practical example that actually uses translations and the database:

    public function boot(Dispatcher $events)
    {
        $events->listen(BuildingMenu::class, function (BuildingMenu $event) {
            $event->menu->add(trans('menu.pages'));

            $items = Page::all()->map(function (Page $page) {
                return [
                    'text' => $page['title'],
                    'url' => route('admin.pages.edit', $page)
                ];
            });

            $event->menu->add(...$items);
        });
    }

This event-based approach is used to make sure that your code that builds the menu runs only when the admin panel is actually displayed and not on every request.

Simple AddAfter, AddBefore & AddIn example:

For this example we need add the key-attribute to the pages menu item.

[
    'key'         => 'pages',
    'text'        => 'pages',
    'url'         => 'admin/pages',
    'icon'        => 'far fa-fw fa-file',
    'label'       => 4,
    'label_color' => 'success',
],

Now we add the new menu items.

Account Settings after Pages
Notifications inside Account Settings
Profile before Notifications

With this simple script:

$events->listen(BuildingMenu::class, function (BuildingMenu $event) {
    $event->menu->addAfter('pages', [
        'key' => 'account_settings',
        'text' => 'Account Settings',
    ]);
    $event->menu->addIn('account_settings', [
        'key' => 'account_settings_notifications',
        'text' => 'Notifications',
        'url' => 'account/edit/notifications',
    ]);
    $event->menu->addBefore('account_settings_notifications', [
        'key' => 'account_settings_profile',
        'text' => 'Profile',
        'url' => 'account/edit/profile',
    ]);
});

6.11.4 Active menu items

By default, a menu item is considered active if any of the following holds:

The current path matches the url parameter
The current path is a sub-path of the url parameter
If it has a submenu containing an active menu item

To override this behavior, you can specify an active parameter with an array of active URLs, asterisks and regular expressions are supported.

To utilize regex, simply prefix your pattern with regex: and it will get evaluated automatically. The pattern will attempt to match the path of the URL, returned by request()->path(), which returns the current URL without the domain name. Example:

[
    'text' => 'Pages',
    'url' => 'pages',
    'active' => ['pages', 'content', 'content/*', 'regex:@^content/[0-9]+$@']
]

6.12 Menu Filters

Here we can set the filters you want to include for rendering the menu. You can add your own filters to this array after you've created them. You can comment out the GateFilter if you don't want to use Laravel's built in Gate functionality

At this moment, DataTables, Select2, Chartjs and SweetAlert are added out-of-the-box, including the Javascript and CSS files from a CDN via script and link tag. Plugin Name, active status and files array (even empty) are required. Files, when added, need to have type (js or css), asset (true or false) and location (string). When asset is set to true, the location will be output using asset() function.

By default the DataTables, Select2, ChartJS, Pace and SweetAlert2 plugins are supported and but not active. You can activate them with changing the config file to load it on every page or add a section in specific blade files, this will automatically injecting their CDN files.

Section example: @section('plugins.Datatables', true)

You can use these plugins by default:

Datatables
Select2
Chartjs
Sweetalert2
Pace

You can also add and configure new plugins, modifying the plugin variable using the example structure below:

'plugins' => [
    [
        'name' => 'Plugin Name',
        'active' => true,
        'files' => [
            [
                'type' => 'js',
                'asset' => false,
                'location' => '//cdn.plugin.net/plugin.min.js',
            ],
            [
                'type' => 'css',
                'asset' => true,
                'location' => 'css/plugin.min.css',
            ],
        ],
    ],
]

With the name string you specify the plugin name, and the active value will enable/disable the plugin injection. Each plugin have a files array, with contain arrays with file type (js or css), and location.

If the asset value is true, the injection will use the asset() function.

6.13.1 Pace Plugin Configuration

You can change the Pace plugin appearence, when using the CDN injection modifying the css file location.

    'location' => '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pace/1.0.2/themes/{{color}}/pace-theme-{{theme}}.min.css',

Color values: black, blue (default), green, orange, pink, purple, red, silver, white & yellow

Theme values: barber-shop, big-counter, bounce, center-atom, center-circle, center-radar (default), center-simple, corner-indicator, fill-left, flash, flat-top, loading-bar, mac-osx, minimal

7. Translations

At the moment, English, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish translations are available out of the box. Just specify the language in config/app.php. If you need to modify the texts or add other languages, you can publish the language files:

php artisan adminlte:install --only=translations

Now, you can edit translations or add languages in resources/lang/vendor/adminlte.

7.1. Menu Translations

This resource allow you to use lang files, and is active by default.

Configurating Menu Using Lang:

First, configure the menu using the key text as translation string. This is an example of configuration:

    [
        'header' => 'account_settings'
    ],
        [
            'text' => 'profile',
            'url'  => 'admin/settings',
            'icon' => 'user',
        ],

Lang Files

All the translation strings must be added in the menu.php file of each language needed. The translations files are located at resources/lang/vendor/adminlte/

This is an example of the menu.php lang file:

return [
    'account_settings'  => 'ACCOUNT SETTINGS',
    'profile'           => 'Profile',
];

To translate the menu headers, just use the header param. Example:

    [
        'header' => 'account_settings'
    ],
        [
            'text' => 'profile',
            'url'  => 'admin/settings',
            'icon' => 'user',
        ],

8. Customize views

If you need full control over the provided views, you can publish them:

php artisan adminlte:install --only=main_views

Now, you can edit the views in resources/views/vendor/adminlte.
